Waiting on Wednesday #46: EVEN THE DARKEST STARS - by Heather Fawcett

Wednesday, 16 August 2017

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme originally hosted by Breaking the Spine and now taken over by Wishful Endings that highlights upcoming book releases we're excited to read. On my blog, I include movies as well.

Kamzin has always dreamed of becoming one of the Emperor’s royal explorers, the elite climbers tasked with mapping the wintry, mountainous Empire and spying on its enemies. She knows she could be the best in the world, if only someone would give her a chance.
But everything changes when the mysterious and eccentric River Shara, the greatest explorer ever known, arrives in her village and demands to hire Kamzin—not her older sister Lusha, as everyone had expected—for his next expedition. This is Kamzin’s chance to prove herself—even though River’s mission to retrieve a rare talisman for the emperor means climbing Raksha, the tallest and deadliest mountain in the Aryas. Then Lusha sets off on her own mission to Raksha with a rival explorer who is determined to best River, and Kamzin must decide what’s most important to her: protecting her sister from the countless perils of the climb or beating her to the summit.
The challenges of climbing Raksha are unlike anything Kamzin expected—or prepared for—with avalanches, ice chasms, ghosts, and even worse at every turn. And as dark secrets are revealed, Kamzin must unravel the truth of their mission and of her companions—while surviving the deadliest climb she has ever faced.

GHOSTS. WINTER. ICE. AVALANCHES.
Yes please and gimme.
Doesn't this book sound amazing?!!!???!! I requested an ARC a while back and never got a response (SOB) but I hope I'll be able to get a copy when it's published.
It looks sooooooooo good <3

I hate when I request books and then I just don't hear anything back! I'd rather they just tell me no. :) I'm looking forward to this one as well. I like the idea that Kazmin has to choose between herself and her sister!
